Journalists also received written instructions not to cover any illegal gatherings — even though there was no immediate sign of any….

In a bid to ease tensions, the conservative judiciary has released a number of detained students, but at the same time made it clear that any further unrest — branded as the work of arch-enemy the United States — will not be tolerated.

Some of the students detained in the 1999 unrest — in which at least one student was killed and hundreds were injured or arrested — are still in jail.

Just returned from the NYC demonstration. Very small turnout, almost all Iranians. Kind of caused me to have a blogfit, but I’m glad I went all the same. Thanks for staying on top of this.

Blogger from tehran online says his blog is being blocked by filters right now. Didn’t he prepare with software to get through the filters? There are ways to penetrate the filters. I hope hoder or someone can give them the info about this.

Ken,
Your post was excellent. I’m disappointed that the demonstration here in NYC was so sparsely attended. I thought about leaving work to go to it, now I wish I had. But the “blogfit” you describe was a nicely written piece I think. I hope you get a lot of links.
